Mitchell, a fourth-year defensive back, was cut from the team on Nov. 7 to make room for linebacker Justin Houston. He was active for one game this season in KC, seeing two snaps on special teams. Mitchell previously spent time with the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys, although he has never started a game.

Okine is also a name that has bounced on and off Kansas City’s practice squad multiple times this season. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him get released and signed by the team once or twice more this season. Such is life for practice squad guys in the NFL.
